I don’t know much about women politicians, but I lump them in my view that many of these politicians don’t have any expertise and just get their marching orders from corps, lobbyists, and such until they retire – there is no leadership in government, just tools.

It’s still a problem throughout the world and burying their heads in the sand by focusing solely pleasurable things won’t help them when their gov tries to take their ‘things’ away. I.E porn legislation.

“Behold, world, this is Japan.” This should be rephrased “Behold, world, this is REALITY.” Most people in general don’t care about politics and hold their own hedonistic desires above everything else. But when things get bad to the point they can’t afford to indulge in their hobbies, you know who they will come to crying to for help. Which is sad because it could have been prevented if they were more involved.
